SQUARE JEANNE-D'ARC
Jeanne-d'Arc Square, where she spent a month in prison at Le Crotoy castle.
Joan of Arc, taken in Compiègne, spent a month in the prison of the Château du Crotoy from 21 November to 20 December 1430. She was allowed to receive a few people from the city, before leaving the town on foot, to Rouen, via Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, Eu and Dieppe. There she was condemned to be burned alive. The bronze dedicated to it, on the central square next to the port, was inaugurated in 1881. In 1943, the work was returned by the German occupier, and has since been directed towards England (before that it looked out over the bay).
